Looks like the English and French ones had that handle, I hadn't noticed those before. View attachment 667140

Yup. This one is Made in England. Looks similar to the #25 French set

Nice set, Juan Manuel!

Yes Toby; that is EXACTLY what I am looking for. If that is yours- it is truly stunning! Not being a student of the Contract Tech YET- my understanding is that some Fat Handled Techs went into service mode too. Now THAT would be the ticket- the best of your and Adam's world methinks! My preference is for the Bakelite case too- robust for a packing trip across Europe... or island hopping in the Pacific! God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown

Man Toby- Twenty bucks for a REAL piece of history! God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown

Adam; You know I am like a Mountie- I ALWAYS get my man... er razor! God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown

I got those images from ebay sold listings, just to show some recent ones that you could have had. I don't see any in their current listings, but you should check every couple of days if you're looking to buy. Good hunting my friend!

I am letting the Super Speed and vintage shaving gear smoke clear, and there is a lot of it... God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown

Just got a D1 1958 Flare Tip Super Speed on ebay - it's a birth year/quarter razor.

Big THANKS to Mr. Tony Brown for a epic shaving history/discussion thread on the Gillette Super Speeds. For some unexplainable reason my super speed herd grew while I enjoyed reading the thread. That reminds me to stop at the store for some more Flitz and a new buffing wheel. You guys are contagious!

Yes. It's strange. I had to get the pic I posted from the "general" Tech page...
